I'm not sure how Harvard Architecture, whatever it might be, would protect against SQL injection and XSS errors.
Kids these days. Harvard architecture, unlike von Neumann architecture, had a strict separation of progrma and data store and representation. It would have been impossible for a program to modify its own or other executable material. Data was not executable, so SQL injection and XSS would have been impossible. (So would a lot of other things, but ...) ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets.
